Not only did he have his own snappy pad but I felt a kindred spirit with Oscar due to his love of trash.

I know he plays second fiddle to Elmo these days, but he's still #1 with me. He's so far from my heart. Or is it near? Shoot, I always mix those two up. Have you been watching "I love the 70s" on VH1? [ Edited by: hanford_lemoore on 2003-08-20 19:09 ]

When I was little I always wanted to be one of those kids that got to sit on a wall they had the kids sitting on to hide the puppeteers and count to ten with The Count...Ah-ah-ah. As an adult who watches nothing but children programs, I like Guy Smiley now. [ Edited by: DawnTiki on 2003-08-20 19:27 ]

She's a Cookie Monster fan.

What about those aliens that look all saggy and go "Yep yep yep yep yep" and "nope nope nope nope nope", and "brrrrrring brrrrrring"? Those guys are pretty zazz. By the way, doesn't the Count know that there's medication available to control Obsessive Compulsive disorder?

I thought that thing was cool. Big Bird is such a tripper, him and Little Bird both. Anybody remember that weird cartoon short that Sesame Street featured involving a little baby/kid falling off of a block building? That freaked me out when I was a kid. Cartoon or not that was disturbing to my tender lil mind. Chongolio

Not to mention...uh, were they the creatures who did their version of the avant-garde 60's Italian hit "Mah-Na Mah-Na"?!? That might be my favorite Sesame Street moment ever. Well, or any moment that included Raul Julia. Anyone besides me remember his stint on the Street? sigh... I'm betraying my age here, aren't I?

Mah-na mah-na was on the Muppet Show. And they weren't the Yep yep yep guys. Both were great though.

Sweetums was on Sesame Street? I only remember him being on the Muppet Show. Grover and Snuffy are in a tie as my favorites. Do any of you Mac addicts remember the Oscar shareware? Whenever you emptied the Trash, he'd come out of the trash can and sing "I Love Trash." Cute. --cindy (another "Sesame Street Unpaved" fan)

Grover is the bomb. I used to get mad at Big Bird for being so dumb. Grover was sensitive, and I like that in a blue fuzzy man.
D DaneTiki Member Minneapolis, MN Joined: May 29, 2002 Posts: 113	D DaneTiki Posted posted on Thu, Aug 21, 2003 8:21 AM Favorite Sesame Street character: Oscar Favorite Muppets: Crazy Harry, Animal, Statler and Waldorf Weird pop culture homage: There's a scene in the new Costner/Duvall western "Open Range" that seems to be a parody of the "Black Bart" routine (where the bad cowboy comes in to the general store for a crayon.) "Open Range" also stars the late Michael Jeter (who's Sesame Street run as Mr. Noodle was a bit after our time for the most part.)

He was genius in the band Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Their song "Can You Picture That" rocked. Gonzo has a great voice and always thought he should sing more. Chongolio P.S. I remember the Mah-na ma-na creatures being in Sesame Street .

S suicide_sam Member LBC Joined: Mar 26, 2002 Posts: 670	S suicide_sam Posted posted on Fri, Aug 22, 2003 12:14 PM Favorite Seasame Street character I would have to say was Grover. All time favotire Jim henson Character though, taking into account Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, Fraggle Rock, Labrynth,Return Of The Jedi, etc, etc.. I know it's very basic but Kermit was still my favorite above all other muppets. I just really liked hearing him sing, "It's Not Easy Being Green".
